And I wanted to check more of the AMC this year or the next year (since of all the math books I'm reading -_-)</li>
<li>Got a tutor to teach me for a year of SAT/ACT </li>
</ul>

<h2>- I'm getting dual enrolled next year (though not sure which college yet, certainly not community college, another near by school.</h2>

<p>Is this good?</p>

<p>Sadly I can't do any scholarships as of now because of visa problems (going to get my residence soon anyway).</p>

<p>Are you ok? As in stressed out? Colleges want to quality over quantity. My parents just made me quit some activities so I can focus on school work. I’m a sophomore too. I would suggest to stick to some clubs that you genuinely like for the next few years. Don’t kill yourself over Harvard. Many people do things like that in school. Look beyond school and try to do something more state-wise, national, or just for your community :)</p>

<p>Great so far, but you need to develop a focus on one thing. Try math or whatever you like.</p>

<p>I’m not stressed at all, the way how I get to do everything is to be organized and play video games 30 minutes a day.</p>

<p>If you have passions in volleyball and math and something else, don’t feel you need to sacrifice any of them to “develop a focus.” If you ever feel like the number of directions you’ve got activities in is making you spread yourself thin and become less effective in each, then you need to cut the number in favor of more depth. In my opinion, a lot of the most compelling applicants/my classmates aren’t the ones who really loved math or really loved community service: they’re the ones who love both, and the way they intersect, or even they just had a pure academic focus and then had other hobbies on the side.</p>

<p>Well the EC that I do is that I have passion for them all. I prefer to do many things since I love to do new stuff and hope to compete with many activities that I do. The thing is that many people tend to try to want to join clubs so they can get better Resume for themselves (*** would you waste your time joining Spanish Club???)</p>

<p>#Harvard Bunny. I’m trying to do my Virtual School as fast as possible so I can take more math classes online.</p>
